I thought the Nova stuff was stupid but that didn't make me dislike the book.Probably a personal grudge... or a Nova fan
I've noticed a lot of reviewers tend to base story quality on how good their pet characters are treated. Not sure if this is the case, but its blatant hating when you give props to the shytty art in the book over the polarizing story.
The art was more of an issue than Remender having Nova be a fukk up.
